We stay here every year and sometimes twice a year and we love it! It’s always a great experience. Although it is a small, no frills roadside motel, that is just fine, it’s quiet, quaint, clean, comfortable, very reasonably priced and the owners and staff are always very nice and accommodating! It fit us perfect and we enjoy our stay every time! Highly recommended!

Nice hotel from back in the day. Clean and provided amenities that I needed such as microwave and refrigerator. No fluff, but I appreciate the cleanliness and the way the manager handled my check-in and check out.

Cute little motel. Most motels are pretty sketchy, but this was a cute little building that my wife and I loved. I took off one star from the clean writing because the first night there was dog hair or something on our comforter on the bed and on the first layer of sheets under that but once we notified them they took care of it immediately.

The motel was very clean and fresh. It looked like it had been newly remodeled. There was a refrigerator in microwave and coffee maker. Had a nice safety bar to step in and out of the shower. Bed was very comfortable. There was a nice table and two chairs.

This hotel was good. The bed was comfortable, we didn’t have the desired hot water though. It is close to a highway, so road noise was a little loud. The owner was very nice.
